Chapter 145 Suspected old friend
The emperor looked at this girl, who looked like a lady from a noble family. He nodded secretly. Is this really a peasant girl? This demeanor, this look, not bad, not bad, this little girl has some courage. She was not scared by so many ministers. Even the ministers would be afraid of his majesty as an emperor. I didn't expect this little girl to be so courageous. Why does this little girl look familiar? Where have I seen her before? He was puzzled.
Okay, please stand up without any formalities!
Thank you, Your Majesty, Siyu stood up.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and frowned, well, you, how... Liping County Master is good, and took two steps forward.
Siyu took two steps forward.
She looked up, this time seeing clearly, it looked like, so like, so like, could it be her daughter? For all these years, she had no idea where she was, whether she was still alive, or how she was doing.
The ministers looked at the emperor staring at a little girl in a daze. They were all puzzled. Could it be that the emperor had changed his taste and liked young girls who had not grown up yet?
Some ministers began to think, wondering if they had a daughter of that age at home. If they could please her and send her to the palace, they could be rewarded with wealth and glory. Why not? After all, girls are born for the benefit of the family, and if they can contribute to the family, it would not be in vain to raise them.
When the chief eunuch Su Gonggong saw that the emperor was in a trance, he immediately reminded him quietly.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
The emperor immediately withdrew his thoughts.
There were two other people in the hall. When they saw Bai Siyu walk in, they began to stare at her intently. For a moment, they thought they were seeing things. Was it my little sister, my dear daughter? They rubbed their eyes. It looked like, so like, too much like. They didn't dare to move forward and could only stand there, staring at the little girl who came in. Although the little girl was small, she was probably about eleven or twelve years old. Her black eyes sparkled like grapes, her eyebrows were curved, and her oval face was very cute, with a pink and tender complexion. She stood in front of everyone with ease and grace, neither humble nor overbearing.
These two people were Prince Yi, Feng Junyi, and his eldest son, Prince Yi, Feng Moxian. The old man's eyes welled up with tears, nearly bursting into tears, as he muttered, "Like, like, so like!" Standing behind Prince Yi, Prince Yi stepped forward to support his father, fearing he would lose face in front of the palace.
I whispered to my father, "Father, don't get excited. It's just an elephant. We'll go ask the county lady later. Don't make any mistakes. We've already admitted our mistakes many times. Mother is still waiting for us to come home with news about my sister. You need to stay calm and take care of yourself. We'll tell Mother after we confirm it."
Okay, okay, I need to calm down. I have waited for so many years, this moment won’t make any difference.
But Dad, she really looks like me! I don’t know, I thought my little sister was back?
Unexpectedly, King Yi raised his hand and slapped Feng Moxian on the head, "You dead boy, you told me not to say anything, what are you doing, humph." If she is also your sister's child, how could she be your sister?
Dad, she looks so much like my sister, so if we look for her, won’t we be close to finding my sister?
No one paid any attention to the anxious glances between the father and son. Everyone was waiting to hear what the emperor would do.
"Princess of Liping County!" the emperor said gently, "tell everyone about these high-yield varieties and broaden their horizons."
Yes, I obey your order.
Long Linxiao stood beside Siyu and looked at the little girl standing there shining brightly. Long Linxiao was Yu Yourongyan and was extremely proud.
The emperor looked at his son, who would break out in a rash whenever he touched a woman and had never been interested in women, and finally realized that he was trying to take advantage of her. Alas, his old father's heart was in turmoil!
Siyu began to talk.
She walked to the basket in the front and pointed at the sweet potatoes. "This is called sweet potato. I have harvested 300 mu of it, with an average yield of more than 4,800 jin per mu, and a total output of 1.48 million jin."
Everyone was stunned by what they heard. Over a million jin (approximately 100,000 kg) of rice, and that was just the output from 300 mu (approximately 1,000 acres). Siyu then squatted down, took out a sweet potato, and explained to everyone, "This purple, lump-shaped sweet potato, also known as yam, is both filling and versatile, and can be used to make a variety of other products." Its yield is quite high, reaching at least 3,000 jin (approximately 1,000 kg) per mu, and as much as 5,000 jin (approximately 1,000 kg) per mu.
Everyone just recovered from their shock at this time, and they all gasped. Hiss, hiss, hiss! There are so many, it's impossible! The ministers looked at Siyu with questioning eyes. They felt that this little girl was a little exaggerated and her words were untrue.
There was a young agricultural official who said, "It's impossible, it's impossible. The land on the imperial farm is all top-quality land, and the best yield is less than 400 kilograms."
Siyu ignored their doubts and continued, saying that sweet potatoes are not picky about the land they grow on. They can be grown on cleared land, sandy land, or sloping land. In the south, they can generally be grown two or three times a year. In the north, they only grow one season a year. Seedlings are raised in late March or early April, transplanted in May, and harvested in September.
There are many ways to eat it, such as steaming, boiling, and baking. It can also be used to make many sweet potato-based pastries.
The emperor was delighted to hear this and exclaimed, "Great! The people of the Yulong Dynasty can finally fill their stomachs and no longer go hungry." "Princess Liping, please continue."
Siyu continued to walk to the basket at the back and picked up another potato. This is called potato, also called potato. It has a yellow skin and is oval in shape. Its yield is also very high and it is not picky about the land. I planted a hundred acres and the villagers also planted some, all of which were harvested by me, with a total yield of 500,000 kilograms. Like sweet potatoes, potatoes can be planted in wasteland, sandy land and broken land. In the south, where the temperature is high and the rainfall is abundant, they can be planted for two to three seasons, while in the north, they can be planted for one season. Its yield is also between 3,000 and 5,000 kilograms. Potatoes can also make many derivative products. So now that the people are allowed to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, and after the Royal Dragon Dynasty becomes popular, we can also teach the people to make many derivative by-products, so that they can fill their stomachs and also earn money.
Nonsense, you little brat, you're just talking nonsense. The first minister to question this was Prime Minister Fang's disciple. Lord Li stood up and said indignantly, "The county lady is so arrogant! I wouldn't believe you even if you say you can produce 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms of crops per mu." And if the people of the Yulong Dynasty are all planting high-yield grains, who will plant the rice? Are the people just going to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes? If the yield is really as high as you say, what will happen if they can't eat all the food they produce? And what about derivative products? Qi, what are derivative products? How many can you sell for the people?
Seeing that Prime Minister Fang did not stop him, the ministers of Prime Minister Fang's faction understood and raised questions. You are just a little girl, why don't you learn something else? You actually learn to brag. County lady, don't think that you are great just by growing some food. You are so ambitious at such a young age. What did your parents teach you? What's more, a minister stood up and said, "I heard that the potatoes planted by the county lady are poisonous!" Please answer my questions. I also heard that these potatoes have poisoned people. I wonder how the county lady will explain it."
